Evaporator Coil Failure

If you own a split system heat pump or air conditioner, your evaporator coil is located in your air handler or indoor unit. Leaks in the evaporator coil have become more common due to formicary corrosion which is known to attack Orlando air conditioning systems. The blame for the increase in formicary corrosion cases has mostly fallen on home builders that used a cheap, Chinese drywall that had high sulphur content. The good news is that many manufacturers have made the switch to aluminum and if you had made it with copper thus far, should be in the clear. In additino to formicary corrosion, leaks can occur from high pressures, age and other corrosion, lack of cleaning or maintenance and not using a filter. Often times an evaporator coil can be repair with replacement.
